Way to go RaptorCS!  This thing fixes my only serious gripe with the Talos II platform.  And the way it fixes it -- using an FPGA, which is totally impractical to backdoor on a large scale -- is total genius.

Corvidae:
Not only that, it seems like Arctic Tern itself was launched - https://raptorcs.com/content/AT1PC2/intro.html
(module and carrier card also sold separately, the link is to the bundle)

Interested to see what people do with it!

Woof:
I saw the Twitter post from RCS and this is great news, but I didn't find that much info. I did read that the Kestrel BMC wasn't yet running on the TalosII, from here:

https://gitlab.raptorengineering.com/kestrel-collaboration/kestrel-litex/litex-boards/-/blob/master/README.md

"Similarly, the Talos II mainboard should be able to be utilized as the host, but Raptor has not yet tested Kestrel on Talos II."

And my understanding is: I'd need the entire BMC kit (PCIe carrier and Arctic Tern module) to have a BMC replacement? I guess I need to free up a PCIe slot...

MPC7500:
No. A PCIe slot is not mandatory

Woof:
Ah, okay. I have space near the TPM connector, but the lowest PCEe slot is blocked by the graphics card.
